However, it turns out that a lot of companies have moved towards a physical prototyping server farm setup.
Let’s look at what it means to have a prototyping server farm, the associat... » read more

It’s time to look at what the latest trends in emulation are and to review some of the key requirements to make it datacenter-ready. Specifically, I will look at virtualization of external interfaces as well as emulation throughput, specifically the allocation of jobs into emulators.
One overarching trend in verification lies in the connection of the engines in what Jim Hogan has dubbed t... » read more
